  • Publication number: 20180274722
    Abstract: A device for mounting to a surface includes a surface attachment device and an accessory assembly selectively connectable to the surface attachment device. The surface attachment device includes a surface attachment member and a latch operatively connected with the surface attachment member. The surface attachment member includes a contact surface configured to contact a surface against which the surface attachment device is to be retained. The accessory assembly is selectively rotatable about a rotational axis with respect to the surface attachment device when connected with the surface attachment device. The accessory assembly includes a catch and a spring member cooperating with the catch. The spring member biases the catch in a direction not parallel with the rotational axis.

  • Patent number: 9700376
    Abstract: A multi-joint fixture including a proximal base unit, one or more arms serially connected by electromagnetically lockable ball joints, and a distal hub. The ball joints unlock when not powered. A centering mechanism biases the ball joints toward a neutral position. A control system activates the electromagnetic brake with a high-then-low voltage profile. A headpiece attaches to the hub and holds a drape that covers the fixture. A connector connects a surgical device to the headpiece. A switch on the hub can be actuated via actuators on the headpiece or connector.

  • Publication number: 20160306329
    Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and computer readable media for remotely managing an environmental control and monitoring device are provided. Remote management of an environmental control and monitoring device may be implemented by receiving, via a network, a device action including notification of at least one of an environmental, maintenance, repair or usage status of an environmental control and monitoring device. A management action is determined based on the device action, and the management action is transmitted, wherein the management action includes a command to execute an operation of the environmental control and monitoring device.

  • Patent number: 9308102
    Abstract: An acetabular trialing system has a trial cup including a body comprising an outer surface, a part-spherical inner surface and a rim extending between the inner and outer surface with a plurality of spaced inwardly resiliently deflectable rim members each connected at a first end to the body outer surface. The part-spherical inner surface has a plurality of spaced resilient deflectable bearing members each forming part of the body part-spherical inner surface. The bearing members have a first end deflectable towards the body outer surface. Upon inward deflection, one of the plurality of deflectable rim members is capable of contacting the first end of a corresponding one of the plurality of deflectable bearing members and moving the bearing member towards the body outer surface and into contact an electrical signaling device mounted on the body intermediate the outer surface thereof and the deflectable bearing member.
